At the end of the day, one should take of the inspiration she gives us waht can become part of our unique selves. xo Tanguera Dear Tina,

Probably the main difference is to imitate someone and by inspired by someone. If you dance with soul, you hace to develop your own style, is not possible not to do it. Why? Because you will express the music as you, and only you, fill it. Of course, you give to those movement technique, and yes, probably will be another dancer technique so you can look similar when you dance, but not as a "clon" of her/him. As I comment in the other post, not only Geraldine is have "twins"... I hate chicho's clones (but I truly admire him as a dancer). You are righ Tina.
